The Whole World Was Watching, But I Forgot It Was A Game! - Chapter 23

Chapter 23 An Urgent Situation, Least Desirable Outcome

At this moment, Edward stared fixedly at the needle of his watch.

He looked at the live-stream screen excitedly and immediately frowned slightly. Then, he looked at his watch again. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, he immediately looked at the screen.

At this moment, he had already realized that something was wrong!

He repeatedly switched between looking at his watch and looking at the live-stream video several times before finally confirming that the big shot Aizak was not here!

His heart skipped a beat.

“Aizak still hasn’t arrived?!”

He said in disbelief. Wasn’t this Aizak a member of the imperial city’s chief’s personal

guard?!

Why did he not appear when Lilith was in danger?

Slap!

He slapped the table fiercely to vent his anger. Su Chen’s success had long been related to the Edward Guild! They needed him to unleash their strength in the Divine World!

He had made such a perfect plan. He did not expect to make a mistake in this last segment where it was the most unlikely for anything to go wrong! The chances of failure were probably lower than winning the lottery!

“Su Chen! Think of something!”

Seeing this, Edward’s expression was solemn. He could only place all his hope on the miraculous youth, Su Chen, again. “If it’s you, you can definitely resolve it, right?”

At the same time.

Su Chen frowned tightly. The countdown in his heart had long exceeded 18 seconds and had already reached 30 seconds! However, the other party still had yet to arrive. He was praying that Aizak might only be dozens of seconds late. As long as he arrived at the scene, everything could be resolved!

Now that they were in the most important step of the plan, how could he make a mistake at this moment!

He did not understand. Wasn’t Aizak a guard directly under the chief? Shouldn’t Lilith’s matter be prioritized?!

At this moment, Sebastian’s eyes completely darkened.

Aizak did not come!

Why?!

The meeting time was something that Aizak had proposed himself. During the shift, the time compliance was written in the contract. If he failed to arrive in time, he would be injured by the backlash magic. Therefore, there was no reason for Aizak to be late and lie.

Moreover, he had also met with Aizak many times. The other party was an extremely righteous person and was also sympathetic. After he learned about Lilith’s general encounter, he had also clearly expressed that as long as Lilith was in danger, he would do his best to protect her even if he was not on duty. In that case, there was no reason for Aizak not to be present!

Sebastian did not understand what was going

on!

“Roar!!”

As if not giving Sebastian any time to be distracted, the earth dragon roared and reminded the other party of the situation.

Immediately after, the earth dragon’s entire body jumped up from the soil!

It stretched out its sharp claws and suddenly attacked Sebastian!

Sebastian had always been on the defensive. He was simply unable to dodge this powerful attack in time. Other than the important organs he defended with his sword…

Two huge upper wounds were torn open and revealed his bones had appeared on his body. One of them extended from the right side of his face to the left side of his waist. The other side extended from his lower abdomen to his knees. A large amount of blood immediately surged out from the scratched wound, making Sebastian’s entire body wet with blood!

“Wu!”

Sebastian gritted his teeth to stop himself from shouting. Then he immediately shouted to Lilith behind him, “Lady Lilith!

“Run!”

After a simple explanation, Sebastian immediately roared. The muscles and blood vessels in his entire body swelled as he rushed forward to fight the earth dragon again!

Since Aizak was not present, all the expectations were transferred to him. Even if he had to burn himself, he had to protect Lilith.

Perhaps it was because of Sebastian’s protective thoughts, or perhaps he had finally grasped the way to use the dragon slayer badge, Sebastian immediately felt the bloodline in his entire body swell.

The injuries on his body miraculously stopped bleeding, and the pain also disappeared. His strength kept surging, and his hidden fighting spirit and health points were completely stimulated!

At this moment, in Sebas’ eyes, the weaknesses of the magic marks appeared on the earth dragon’s body!

Then, after using the huge sword to flick away the earth dragon’s sharp claws, he leaned his long sword and accumulated strength before slashing fiercely at the earth dragon’s weakest abdomen!

Roar!

The earth dragon let out a painful cry. A deep hole immediately appeared in its abdomen. As it shook violently, its organs flowed out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sebastian immediately changed the direction of the sword and suddenly stabbed out with the sword. This stab directly pierced through the earth dragon’s throat, preventing it from roaring again!

However, in the back, Lilith still heard the low and tearing cry of the earth dragon.

She was stunned.

Aizak was not here?!

What was going on?

Sebastian seemed to have injured the earth dragon now, but he was actually quite injured himself. He would not be able to last long.

He would die. After all, that was an earth dragon. It was impossible for Sebastian to kill

it!

She had never thought that she would one day see Sebastian die while trying to protect her. This made her unable to accept the fact that it had already happened.

Fortunately, Su Chen was the only conscious existence here. He did not care about anything else and directly pulled Lilith and continued to run desperately, trying to increase the distance between them.

Now, they could not waste the opportunity Sebastian had squeezed out for them to escape. Otherwise, it would be too late!

“What’s going on? Didn’t that guard say that the direct guard of the chief will arrive in three minutes? Why isn’t he here yet?!”

“What do you think this guy is doing? Can we see what he’s doing? Why hasn’t he come?!”

“I think he won’t be coming. Clearly, this assassination was premeditated.”

“That’s right! I wanted to say just now that the large group of assassins in front were probably all courting death. Their goal was to make Lilith and the others let their guard down and make a killing move at the end. If Su Chen hadn’t appeared, Lilith would have already died!”

“Hiss! Looks like the NPCs in the Divine World are even more ruthless than us!”

“After saying so much and analyzing so much, Su Chen is still helpless. Who asked him to place his hopes on an unstable factor? It’s too laughable.”

“I should say that he’s a little too arrogant. He feels that he can predict everything, which is why he ended up like this.”

Arrogant! Su Chen kept cursing himself in his heart. He was really too arrogant. He was thinking too simply! He should not have placed the key to victory on someone he did not understand.

Su Chen was almost certain that there were only two possible reasons why Aizak did not appear.

The first reason was that Aizak had been bribed! He knew that this plan had already begun from the moment Lilith stepped onto the trip. It was also normal to use diversionary tactics or bribery. However, even so, he still did not believe that a figure like Aizak would be bribed.

It had to be known that Aizak was rich, powerful, and did not lack power. Su Chen really could not think of anything that could tempt a top-notch sword expert in the world.

Moreover, once the matter of bribery was exposed, it would not benefit Aizak at all. If it were an ordinary swordsman, they would still be free to join an underground guild. However, Aizak was different. He did not have to risk losing everything he had just for a bribe.

The only possible reason now was the second reason Su Chen had mentioned-Aizak had been lured away!

This was the outcome Su Chen did not want to see the most. However, this was what was happening…
